This book considers how music, musicality, and ideologies of musicality are working within the specific construction of waka on the theme of male love in Kitamura Kigin’s Iwatsutsuji (1676) and Ihara Saikaku’s Nanshoku ōkagami (1687) by using a modified generative theory of music. This modified theory seeks to get at the interdependent meanings that may exist among the music, image, and the text of the waka in question. In all, this study guides the reader through five waka on the theme of male love and demonstrates not only how each waka is inherently musical but how the image and text may interdependently relate to the ways in which premodern Japanese song poets may not only have thought in and with sound but may have also utilized a diverse array of musical gestures to construct new objects of knowledge. In the case of this study, these new objects of knowledge seem to have aided in situating a changing musicopoetics that aligned with changing constructions of male desire. .

This book analyses the emergence and growth of the creative sector in Naples between the early modern and modern eras, focusing particularly on the development of music markets in the city. From the seventeenth century, Naples became one of the most culturally enriched regions in the Italian peninsula, with internationally known music schools, theatres and opera venues attracting visitors from across Europe in a burgeoning tourist market. This book sheds light on the driving economic factors and political contexts behind this key case study for the early growth of the opera and music sector in Europe. Starting with a discussion of the value of economic history to understanding cultural industries, the chapters approach this analysis through multiple lenses: the formation of human capital as the result of Naples’ institutional urban welfare system; the role of cultural consumption as it evolved from a primarily religious activity to growing popular demand; and the role that central city authorities played in encouraging cultural activity through private investment and public policy. The book also draws on fascinating archival research to examine the contribution of Naples’ music conservatories in the local creative economy. This book is a valuable resource to a broad range of readers, including those working in economic history, tourism history, the history of music and theatre, Italian social history and more. Rossella Del Prete is an Associate Professor of Economic History in the Department of Economics at the University of Sannio, Italy. Her research interests span history and economics, including public history, the economic history of art and culture, governance of cultural heritage, the history of tourism, labour history and female entrepreneurship.

An Erinnerungsorten in der Musik kulminiert ein Ausschnitt von Musikgeschichte in einem Moment der Gegenwart und verweist als bedeutsames Zeichen in die Zukunft. Die Bedeutung manifestiert sich darin, dass die Orte eine identitätsstiftende Funktion für bestimmte Gemeinschaften haben, die so unterschiedlich sind wie die Orte selbst. Denn nicht nur reale oder begehbare, sondern auch imaginierte und metaphorische Orte dienen dem gemeinsamen, gegenwärtigen Erinnern an Musikgeschichte. Auf der Basis einer gründlichen Bestandsaufnahme zum Begriff des Erinnerungsortes widmet sich die Autorin mit historiographischer Genauigkeit und aufschlussreichen kulturgeschichtlichen Bezügen fünf höchst unterschiedlichen Erinnerungsorten in der Musik: Beethovens neunter Symphonie, der Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Mozart und Graz, dem Genre HipHop, der Philharmonie und dem Jüdischen Museum in Berlin. Untersucht werden die Mechanismen ihrer Konstruktion, Beständigkeit und Beweglichkeit, die abhängig sind von individueller Erinnerung sowie institutionellen und gesellschaftspolitischen Kontexten. Inwiefern Musik, um nicht in Vergessenheit zu geraten, der medialen Verankerung und materiellen Verortung bedarf, wird in diesem Buch erkenntnisreich dargestellt. Why do we remember certain music from the past and attribute meaning to it, while other protagonists from the history of music slip into obscurity? Armed with this question, the author embarks upon a journey to sites of memory in music, visiting Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Mozart and Graz, the genre of hip hop, the philharmonic and the Jewish Museum in Berlin.

The life and death, but also the creative work of famous musicians is closely linked to their personal medical histories. In "Famous Composers – Diseases Reloaded" these case histories are vividly reconstructed on the basis of authentic biographical testimonies and closely linked to the personalities of the musicians. The latest research findings on the pathophysiology of these composers will be woven into the overall picture. Was Paganini's "devilishness" caused by a hereditary disease? Did Scarlatti have strange signs of illness on his fingers? What did Bach really die of? How did "Christel" from a dubious milieu change Schumann's entire life? What aggravated Ravel's underlying illness so that he did not complete a single composition in the last five years before his death? How did Tárrega manage to play the guitar again after his stroke with hemiplegia? Did the Brazilian Villa-Lobos' worldwide reputation help him live longer thanks to the best treatment available to him? Andreas Otte, physician and musician, has incorporated the latest medical history research into the composers' pathographies. This book is an exciting and "well-tempered" reading experience not only for physicians, music lovers, musicologists and musicians, but for all readers who want to develop a basic understanding of the pathophysiology and life scores of these great masters under current conditions from today's perspective.

To date there has been no plotting of punk scholarship which speaks to ‘time’, yet there are some clear bodies of work pertaining to particular issues relevant to it, including ageing and/or the life course and punk, memory and/or nostalgia and punk, ‘punk history’, and archiving and punk. Punk, Ageing and Time is therefore a timely (pun intended) book. What this edited collection does for the first time is bring together contemporary investigations and discussions specifically around punk and ageing and/or time, covering areas such as: punk and ageing; the relationship between temporality and particular concepts relevant to punk (such as authenticity, DIY, identity, resistance, spatiality, style); and punk memory, remembering and/or forgetting. Multidisciplinary in nature, this book considers areas which have received very little to no academic attention previously. Laura Way is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Roehampton, UK. She is currently engaged in research projects with young fathers and local Travellers, and ongoing research concerning marginalised identities and punk. Laura’s monograph – Punk, Gender and Ageing: Just Typical Girls (2020) – was the first to focus solely on the experiences of older punk women. She is a qualified teacher in lifelong learning and an experienced qualitative researcher, particularly in the areas of creative and participatory methods, and collaborative, community-based work. Laura is an editor of Sociological Research Online and sits on the editorial board for Punk & Post-Punk journal. Matt Grimes is Senior Lecturer in Music Industries and Radio at Birmingham City University, UK. Matt’s doctorate explored ageing, identity and the ideological significance of anarchism in the life courses of ageing adherents of anarcho-punk. He is currently writing up this research for his forthcoming monograph with Palgrave Macmillan, Ageing, Identity, Memory and British Anarcho-Punk: 'Life We Make' (Palgrave Macmillan). He has published on the subjects of anarcho-punk, anarcho-punk ‘zines, punk pedagogy, popular music and spirituality, DIY/Underground music cultures/subcultures, counter-cultural movements, and radio for social change. He is the Punk Scholars Network’s general secretary and associate editor for Punk & Post-Punk journal. Matt is also a lifelong supporter of Millwall FC.

The Groovology of White Affect theorizes white aesthetics and race formation in South Africa from a position immersed in the sonic. Mining boeremusiek’s “heart-speech” across two centuries of reception, the book offers a theory of race formation steeped in the music’s vernacular language and practices, and in the context of South Africa's race ideologies. The book’s chapters identifys and explore boeremusiek's affective modalities: embarrassment, blackface, epiphany, and disavowal. The book then theorizes indexicality, music, affect and whiteness as three interlinked ontologies. When considered together, the book argues, boeremusiek’s modalities outline the parameters of a corrupted white aesthetic faculty that help explain how whiteness perpetuates itself in the present day. Racism is thereby defined not primarily as a matter of prejudice, but as a matter of (conditional) pleasure and (pathological) taste. The Groovology of White Affect articulates a sound studies from the South; it is an attempt to write in a South Africa-centered way - amidst the collapse of colonial disciplines and a resulting disciplinary and methodological catholicism - for a broad, international audience interested in the affective constitution of race and racism.

Far los motz e-l so": "Faire le mot et le son". Cette expression fameuse revendiquée par les troubadours résume de façon éloquente l'art poétique et musical qui a fait leur juste renommée. Cet ouvrage éclaire, d'une façon très neuve, ce qu'est l'art du trobar dans cette union étroite des conditions poétiques et des formes rhétoriques du discours musical. A la fin du XIe siècle, la fin'amor apparaît dans le sud de la France. Elle met en scène la dame dont l'amant conquiert l'amour au travers de poèmes chantés. Le jeu est aussi de susciter l'intérêt de l'auditeur, le convaincre de la justesse de sa cause et de la pureté de ses sentiments. La force de la persuasion suppose de gagner son esprit et sa mémoire. La valeur d'un troubadour se reconnaît donc non pas tant par les thèmes poétiques abordés qui sont toujours les mêmes sinon par l'extrême subtilité à mêler le mot et le son.00.
